Why is there a Fitzroy board?

[footyfan1978]

Second best jumper in the game after Carlton's.
It's good when Brisbane Lions play in a more Fitzroy like kit.

can't work out who this is standing next to geoff southby during the fog game - gone through all the 38s for fitzroy around 1971 but no dice - anyone?

From memory think it was Peter Ruscuklic

AFL Tables site should be able to help find out.
Pick the 1971 season from this
AFL Tables - Match Scores 1897-2022

Which when you do it should take you to here..

AFL Tables - 1971 Season Scores

Then scroll until you find the Fitzroy and Carlton match you want.

If it is round 21 of that season click on Match Stats which should be in blue text

Then that should mean you are here.-->AFL Tables - Fitzroy v Carlton - Sat, 21-Aug-1971 2:13 PM - Match Stats

Then in # column for jumper number I see there is no 38 so that should mean it the earlier match in the season.

I will let you try that out and see what you find.

Or try a Football Record of that match... ha ha

I went through every fitzroy player that ever pulled on a 38 jumper - I'm tipping that may not have been shanahan's jumper or he wasn't there very long

My guess is it would’ve been worn by a Brisbane Lions Indigenous Academy team (not sure the specific name but something to that effect) in the same season Brisbane wore the same design in the AFL, which was 2021.

How’s this for a find?! Amazing
